just sittin here chillin..
but am still troubled about the battery.

Got myselfe a pretty simple but real good sonyericsson phone, fantastic mp3 player, but main reason, alot better battery time. But still i like my symbian n95 phone, but using SE phone just for the cause that i dont trust the nokia, it can drain out in just a few few very few hours if its been on standby for a like just a day or so.
SE never let me down.

So how do you guys using your n95 as a phone feel when it almost suddenly let you down.going form like 6-7 batterydots or whatever its called, to 1-2-3 in world speed record, and then you dont wanna use it couse it will go off if its strained.
And buying a BL-6F battery seems not an option since it wont fit perfect , but it will work, but unable to close the back cover..
Will a re buy of a new battery make any difference?
i dont really remember my battery ever been nice to me, even from the beginning when i bought it. 8months..

what you think?

You are right, the battery is only useful for a day if used just for text messaging and no more than about 30 minutes on the phone. It may say that you still have a full battery at the end of the day, but it's misleading. At least in my experience it is, if I switch on wifi or read an e-book it dies rather quickly.

I have a small solar powered battery charger if I'm not at home, as well as a spare battery, so I don't really have too many issues aside from having to carry additional stuff around.

Just to check your battery, put it on charge and leave on whenever you can for as long as you can (at least a week).
Then see how it performs.

Must admit ive not had any trouble with my battery at all.

Had the phone nearly 6 months and use it very regularly. Lost of texts most days and a few calls now and again. Use the internet and WiFi when out and about, although for no great lengh each time, but generally i have quite a 'standard' use of the phone.

My battery lasts 2 days in the most part, only occasionally do i charge it on consecutive nights.

Maybe my view of standard use is alot less than many other peoples?

Yeah, you'll probably come in the "light" use category. 😊
